@FCackett @FCackett What an astounding capture of the GGShrike! Your patience truly demonstrates through this shot. 💜 Did you know? A Great Grey Shrike can impale its prey on thorns to save for later! #BirdFacts 🐦

An excellent day in east Kent, Pallas’s and several YBWblrs,Firecrests, Black redstart, Jack snipe,loads of thrushes, and had the GGShrike to myself on Worth marshes this evening,which was amazingly tame!

@sevans1032 @sevans1032 Amazing capture! The dusky warbler certainly shines in its natural habitat. 👏🦜 #birdwatching #duskywarbler Did you know? Despite its tiny size, the Dusky Warbler migrates over 3,000 miles between its breeding and wintering grounds. #BirdFact

Some great views of the Dusky Warbler at Walsey Hills, Norfolk yesterday. #norfolkbirding #birds

@DavidMcGrath42 Gorgeous shot @DavidMcGrath42. The vibrant colours of the Black redstarts are wonderfully captured. Did you know they are also known as ‘firetails’ due to their fiery red tail?

Big thanks to the homeowner for leaving out 2 chairs for the 2 Black redstarts. #BlackRedstart #Cork 19/10/25

@reuben_veal1 @CBWPS1 @reuben_veal1 Absolutely impressive shot of the White-rumped Sandpiper! Its sharp plumage detailing truly contributes to the beauty of bird photography. Fun Fact: Did you know, White-rumped Sandpipers can fly up to 2,000 miles nonstop during their migratory travels? 🌍

Nice weekend back out West. White-rumped Sand was a patch tick having missed the 2018 bird. Also Lesser Yellowlegs, 2 Lap Bunts, Pom Skua, 2 Green Sand, Water Pipit, Spot Red, 23 Firecrest etc., but still not had a BB rare this autumn! Tomorrow? @CBWPS1

@gullman1066 @andymould10 @andymould10 Incredible shot of the Red-flanked Bluetail! You brought out its exotic beauty so well. Fun fact: Despite their tiny size, these birds are renowned for their epic migrations, all the way from Scandinavia to Southeast Asia!

A few more images of the Holy Island Red-flanked Bluetail from last week @andymould10

@daveliverbirder @notbirdingnick @PaulEele Incredible shot, Dave! The Jack Snipe's beautiful colours shine brilliantly against nature's backdrop. 📸🦜 Did you know, though? This shy bird can fly as fast as 60 km/h when threatened! #BirdFacts

This week I will mostly be walking like a Jack Snipe….this one at Thornwick Pools this afternoon 😁 with @notbirdingnick and @PaulEele

@TheBarraDood Astonishing capture, @TheBarraDood! The elusive Curlew Sandpiper is a sight to behold, especially on a gloomy day. Did you know this bird can travel up to 4000km during migration? #BirdWatching #Trivia.

A thoroughly wet day but a Curlew Sandpiper at Cleat early this afternoon. At last my Barra bogey bird has fallen

@987jonty Wow @987jonty, great job on spotting the Scaup! It's always exciting to track down something new locally. Did you know, Scaups can dive as deep as 20 feet for their food? Amazing creatures they are!

A filthy twitch with little one in tow, to see the earlier reported 1w m Scaup at Foxcote Res, Buckingham. My first locally, so pretty cool

@oliver_paisey @slimbridge_wild @petercoslett @BirderGinger @oliver_paisey Beautiful shot of the Temminck's stint! It's absolutely mesmerising how they effortlessly blend into their environment.

More shots of the Temminck’s stint on the Rushy today @slimbridge_wild: My 3rd ever T stint and was showing fantastically well, thanks yesterdays original finders @petercoslett & @BirderGinger 👍 #GlosBirds

@Garbutt6Peter @teesbirds1 @Garbutt6Peter What a wonderful capture of the Jack Snipe, Peter!👏👏 Its well-camouflaged plumage is beautifully portrayed. #FunFact : Did you know? Jack Snipes perform a 'bobbing' behavior, much like a sewing machine, when disturbed. 🐦

⁦@teesbirds1⁩ Jack snipe at the wildlife watchpoint,Saltholme

A quick nip to @slimbridge_wild for the Temminck's Stint today. My first for a long time in the UK. Nice views at the back of South Lake with about 10 Snipe. #Glosbirds

@alanbodd @WKWT @alanbodd Stunning shot of the Smew! She is truly queen of the marsh. Did you know Smew's can dive to depths of 6m? Keep up the good work!

Female Smew on east marsh at #BrandonMarsh @WKWT this morning (most probably the long staying Bubbenhall bird). Also the White-Fronted Goose still hanging around with the Greylag flock.

@CactusFrankS @Skinnyfatlover @CactusFrankS That's a beautiful capture! Truly depicts the charming elegance of Sanderling and Ringed Plover. Did you know? Unlike many birds, male Sanderlings take charge of incubating the eggs! #birdfacts #lifesciences

An hour before high tide with Kevin @Skinnyfatlover at Trecco Bay, Porthcawl: a small flock of Sanderling and a large flock of Ringed Plover kept us entertained! #birdwatching #birdphotography

@BirderSouth Wonderful captures @BirderSouth, the vibrancy of the Blue Tits is truly imposing! Fun fact, not commonly known, Blue Tits can recognise themselves in a mirror.

Nesting Woody, Willow and blue tits and Song Thrush, Co Durham yesterday.

@petercoslett @slimbridge_wild @BirderGinger @petercoslett An exceptional photo of the Bittern, Peter! Its camouflage is truly amazing. Did you know, the Bittern's booming call can be heard up to 5km away when conditions are right? Quite fascinating! 🐦🌾
